Flight Log - 2020-06-15 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Quest F.L.V. (Future Launch Vehicle)

Large 18mm model with three SRBs, small fins.

Kit fins and nozzles were too thin. I beefed them up with stronger laminate layers and TTW fins.

Actual Altitude: 275.00 Feet

Textbook launch with a bit of drift as the wind was already at 5 mph. Estimated altitude was about 275'. The wadding was still inside. The engine removed and the wadding blown out. You don't want any smoldering wadding left inside the BT.
